Matt Millen…YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!
The day has finally come. A dawning of a new era. That era you ask? The post-Millen era. Here is a link to an official story on ESPN; LINK!!!.
But seriously, I am very elated and I hope this sparks the team just a little bit during the bye week. In the years that he was with us our record was a total 31-84. That’s ten losses worse than the other sucky teams. Hell, before he took over at team president we were actually average and barely squeaking into the playoffs every year. I thought those years were demoralizing but the Millen era has pretty much made the Lions a laughing stock.
I don’t put all of the blame on Millen though as the coaches that have come and gone have tried to establish a passing system in Detroit. Granted they figured it out kind of last year now they rely on it too much.
If you look at the stats the only two running backs to touch the ball are averaging 3.5 and 5.5 per carry. But in three games they’ve only amassed a total of 47 rushing attempts. That’s only 15 times per game. If we are the ball so well why do we continuously give it to Mr. Interception, Jon Kitna? I understand we have Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams but in order for them to get the proper looks we have to use our run game more.
Anyways, I’m done on the rant. Millen is gone. Hopefully they will put Drew Stanton in after the bye week and revitalize the team.
